Debt and Slavery: A Short Film-Based Panel Symposium.

This symposium addresses the problem of debt bondage as a form of modern slavery. It involves panel responses to the showing of a short film entitled: "Debt: Of labour and Love". The film recounts the life and conditions of two workers in Indian brick kilns who are bonded to the debt owed to their employers and local lenders. It shows the disciplinary effects of debt. Panel presentations will use this film as the means of discussing a range of issues and challenges related to debt and modern slavery in various contexts and locations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
